Abstract

Huge amount of soiled cotton waste is being produced by utilization of sanitary napkins by the women
who have attained puberty. An attempt has been made to manage these wastes through composting
and vermicomposting. Enzyme activities were studied during the composting and vermicomposting of
soiled sanitary napkins. The highest protease (354.356 μg/g/hr), urease (0.104 μg/g/hr), amylase
(119.08 μg/g/hr) and cellulase (170.13 μg/g/hr) activity was observed in vermicomposting sets. There
was significant increase (p<0.001) in the enzyme activity in the vermicomposting and composting sets
as compared to control.
